Steven Kelly Sr., right, talks with Vicksburg police officer Bobby Jones about the Friday morning motorcycle wreck at U.S. 61 South and Warrenton Road involving Kelly’s son, Steven P. Kelly Jr., 24, 1787 East Farm Road 93, Temple, Texas. Kelly was southbound on 61 on a 2004 Honda 929 when Robert E. Moody, 64, 4032 Old Highway 18, No. 4, Hermanville, driving a 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier, crossed the highway onto Warrenton Road, said investigating VPD officer Leonce Young. Kelly tried to stop, but swerved off the road, Young said. He was taken to River Region Medical Center, where he was treated and released, a hospital spokesman said. Moody was cited for failure to yield, and Kelly was cited for no proof of insurance, Young said. Jones was the assisting officer. (Katie Carter*The Vicksburg Post)
